We forgot to mention how awesome the new BMW Brakes are straight from the BMW Racing engineering. Brembo's might be great but these new BMW Calipers I think are better.
Great video and review! Interesting that you picked this and the Tuono as your two bikes if you can only have two and money wasn't an issue. Is it because the Tuono is closer to the sport bike segment (e.g., good front end feel) while being comfortable while the MXR is closer to the touring segment (e.g., very comfortable) while being sporty?
Yes exactly. If you watch my Tuono videos or the Max Wrist video where he is chasing, the Tuono can hold its own with the very best. I could probably be talked into an M1000RR as a complement to the XR if money was no object though. Here's a like to the Max video.

Hi Nice video. I have about 1800 miles on my MXR, what do you think about that flat spot at like 4K RPM, seems like a tune is pretty mandatory on the US spec bikes. Feels like my GSA pulls harder in that range. Otherwise, i love the bike. I live off Aliso Cyn, so know the area well.
As I have never been behind my MXR , I noticed that the rear directional's blinked quickly as I was applying throttle and when I was closing the throttle the directional's would light up like I was braking. Who knew?
